[QUOTE="4bycamper, post: 528340, member: 17128"] We have hunted elk in public lands in Colorado for the last 20 years. Elk are so tough that I've personally seen a large cow elk walk off and hide after a spine shot with a 300 mag at 200 yds. None of us could even guess how she did that, given the amount of spine damage. She was still breathing when we found her. The best kill shot on elk is through the heart and lungs. Because it's terminal. So lets say you get a perfect lung-heart-lung shot with your 25-06. Better have some comfortable boots and a large canteen. It gets pretty thirsty tracking a wounded elk uphill. And I think you might be at it for a while. :D [/QUOTE]
